Josh Reddick feels great after taking batting practice
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:26 pm ET) Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick "felt great" after taking more than 20 swings in batting practice Friday, MLB.com reports.

"No issues," Reddick told MLB.com. "I don't feel anything. I was happy with the results. Biggest thing for me was if I could pull the ball. It's one thing I really wanted to test out because I wasn't able to do it before. It felt great. Didn't feel anything and still driving the ball that way."

Reddick is unsure of how long of a rehab assignment he'll need.

"We don't have a number yet," Reddick told MLB.com. "Talked with [manager Bob Melvin] today. He said he wants to make sure I get as comfortable as possible, whether it takes five at-bats or 15 or 20 at-bats."

Reddick has hit .152/.266/.250 with one home run in 92 at-bats this season.


Jordan Walden completes pain-free bullpen session
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(10:23 pm ET) Braves reliever Jordan Walden (shoulder) completed a pain-free bullpen session at Citi Field before Friday's game against the Mets. It was his first session off a mound since going on the disabled list.

"Everything feels good," Walden told MLB.com. "I've got to see how I feel tomorrow."

Walden is expected to start his rehab assignment next week. He is expected to be activated soon after, baring setbacks.

Curtis Granderson to miss at least four weeks
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:22 pm ET) Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters after Friday's game that outfielder Curtis Granderson will miss a minimum of four weeks with a fractured finger.

It's a tough break for Granderson, who missed the first six weeks of the season with a broken forearm. He was activated from the disabled list 10 days ago. The Yankees will likely have a regular starting outfield of Vernon Wells, Brett Gardner and Ichiro Suzuki for the foreseeable future.


David Phelps gets win but leaves with injury
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:18 pm ET) Yankees starting pitcher David Phelps earned his third win of the season Friday against the Rays, allowing four earned runs on six hits and no walks in 7 2/3 innings, while striking out three. But Phelps was forced to leave the game after getting hit on the right forearm by a line drive in the eighth inning.

It was a costly win for the Yankees, who also lost Curtis Granderson to a fractured finger in the game. Phelps, who has a 3.96 ERA, is in line to face the Mets at home Wednesday depending on the severity of the injury. The Yankees sent him for precautionary X-rays, but manager Joe Girardi told reporters after the game he doesn't think the injury is serious.

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(10:17 pm ET) Rockies pitcher Roy Oswalt was knocked around as he gave up two home runs during his first rehab start at Double-A Tulsa Friday.

Oswalt allowed three runs and four hits over five innings. He threw 72 pitches, 44 for strikes. The right-hander is scheduled to make three more starts in the minors, according to The Denver Post.

Samuel Deduno struggles in first start of season
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:12 pm ET) Twins starting pitcher Samuel Deduno struggled in his season debut Friday, surrendering six earned runs on nine hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings while striking out two.

Deduno had a 2.70 ERA in three starts at Triple-A before Friday. He missed time earlier this season with a groin injury. If he gets another start for the Twins, it'll come at home against the Brewers Wednesday.


Oswaldo Arcia optioned to Triple-A
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:07 pm ET) Twins outfielder Oswaldo Arcia has been optioned to Triple-A to make room for P.J. Walters, MLB.com reports. Walters is expected to start Saturday.

Arcia went 0 for 3 Friday, giving him one hit (a home run) in his last 18 at-bats over his last eight games. He hit .255/.318/.449 in 98 at-bats during his first career major-league stint.


Anibal Sanchez comes two outs shy of no-hitter
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:04 pm ET) Tigers pitcher Anibal Sanchez was two outs shy of his second career no-hitter Friday. He closed out the win for a complete-game shutout, allowing one hit and three walks in a 6-0 victory against the Twins.

Sanchez(5-4), struck out 12 in 130 pitches, his most of the year. He'll take a 2.38 ERA and 80:17 K:BB ratio into a start in Pittsburgh against the Pirates Wednesday.


Kyle Kendrick loses second in row
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(10:03 pm ET) Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Kendrick endured another rough outing, suffering his second-straight loss Friday night against the Nationals.

Kendrick surrendered a sacrifice fly in the third and three runs in the fifth, including a two-run double to Stephen Lombardozzi. The right-hander was charged with five runs and eight hits over five innings. He struck out one and walked three.

Kendrick (4-3) has permitted nine runs and walked eight over his last 11 innings. He is scheduled to start Wednesday at home against Boston. He is 2-2 with a 4.40 ERA in five starts at home.

Rafael Soriano shuts door on Phillies
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(10:02 pm ET) Nationals closer Rafael Soriano earned his 14 save Friday night against the Phillies.

Soriano struck out one as he pitched a scoreless ninth. He has not allowed a run in his last two appearances after blowing back-to-back saves. He has lowered his ERA from 3.15 to 2.86 during that span.
